Exuding Geekiness since 1984

I'M BAACKK!! as many of you can see, after a while of going AWOL on everyone. What happened to me?Where have I been? Did I fall from the face of the earth?! So many questions!! To be honest, for a while I had lost the motivation (and at times the will) to even get out of bed. It's been a long time since I've battled depression and it takes a toll on me at various times.  So, I used this time to just chill, and recuperate in order to have a better outlook on life. So, instead of giving you all a sad sob story, I will spare you guys the details and let's get going to talk about what I love the most...GEEK STUFF/CULTURE/FANDOMS, etc. 1.)  Our Spidey sense are tingling!! For those unaware I have a FB account, and I do subscribe to various outlets of information for Geeks and all about Geek interests, any ways, I'm sure by now, everyone and their mothers' know that Sony has already chosen (officially) a new actor to play Peter Parker/Spider-man. And the l...

And yes, I am being sarcastic about it. And, of course this is a post, not so much of a rant, but to raise even MORE awareness in the stream of consciousness in the Geek/Nerd community We must admit, that it is prominently male oriented and there are a few celebrated Geek/Nerd girls that 1.) are show cased within our community, 2.) are even of some notoriety of sorts.  As a Geek/Nerd Girl, I must admit that I am aware of this phenomenon that is known as a "fake Geek girl," and I will never understand what a "fake" or "true" geek girl is. Is our Geekiness defined by the amount of collectibles we have?  How many issues of Batman 66, New 52 we have? or maybe simply, we just enjoy the fandom that we happen to be in? I've come across article, after article about how our manly counterparts, usually employ the excuse of "fake" Geek girls, because they can't fathom a girl/woman being into the things that are considered for "men...

I was debating whether to write a post about Marvel's Agent Carter premier, since I know that there would be innumerable amounts of reviews. I guess that is why I took a week to decide to write this entry. Okay, here I go!! In no particular order of importance (all of them are important) here is a brief countdown to the things that I enjoyed about the premier: 1.  Realistic 1940's everything!! I absolutely loved the detail that goes on to recreating such a nostalgic era. The wardrobe, appliances, lingo from all the characters. The interactions between men and women, that in today's modern world seems sexist, at that time period was the norm. 2. Jarvis!!! Need I say more?! His personality is so well done. His interaction with agent Carter is delicious. They compliment each other. 3. Cameos/references!! But mostly, what I absolutely loved about the premier is Agent Carter and the way she maintains herself with dignity despite the sexist attitude of the other male ...

My all time favorite DC heroine is Wonder Woman (a very narrow second place is held by Hawkgirl, 'bird nose' according to Solomon Grundy).  And as a massive load of you know DC New 52 has come out with a re-vamped more streamlined Wonder Woman story. Azzarello, Chiang and Akins have done an incredible job, not just by the artwork, but the story is absolutely solid. I seriously don't want to spoil any thing for those of you who haven't had the chance to read the new 52 story line. Brief synopsis is that Wonder Woman has to confront many Olympian Gods & Goddesses for Zeus' throne.  There is also a very important prophecy that involves a mortal girl & her child. The story line has twists, turns, allies, not so much mainstream villains, but more so contenders for the throne (this sounds a bit like a Game of Thrones episode! lol.)  Btw, they also revamped her origin story, which now makes her even more of a bad-ass than ever!! Th...

Yesterday it finally happened, we went to see Big Hero 6!! And I truly had an incredible time and thoroughly enjoyed the movie from beginning to end. (I also think my daughter did not blink  because she was THAT entertained by Baymax) Big Hero 6 is a huge, HUGE difference from last years disappointment that is known as FROZEN. I couldn't stand it. The opening song is basically not just a foreshadowing of what's to come in the movie, but it actually is the entire movie, sung. No real suspense, not really a female empowerment theme, it's just bland. For me at least, not even Olaf could save it. And now with Big Hero 6, you can tell that the story was better thought through. There's definitely better character interaction and development. From Tadashi, Hiro, Honey, Baymax, and the rest of the characters, there is more of a connection. I could identify with them. But ultimately, I think I can identify (just like everyone else does) myself with is Bay...

May the Force be with J.J. ABRAMS!!! So, after so many times being rick-rolled over “official” trailers for the new Star Wars The Force Awakens, it finally happened!!! We finally got an actual snippet of the trailer that has broken the internet since we found out that J.J. Abrams took the helm of this project. Critics (positive and negative) have abound with their opinions about their personal expectations for this upcoming film. And quite frankly, it’s not over possessiveness, but we want justice after the fiasco of the “Special Editions” and the Prequels. Anyways, all around the fringes of cyberspace comments have been made, expectations either have been heightened or completely destroyed, but it seems a lot more real than those pesky “rumors.” And in my most personal opinion, I only have to say this…. I will reserve any comment, judgment on and or about this (or for that matter, any future teasers, trailers, etc.) teaser trailer until right before the first ...

A couple of days ago, while sitting down and watching Fanboys , got me thinking of the touch-y subject (and at times controversial, I guess) of which one is better, Star Wars or Star Trek? Sure, both franchises have some things in common, like the obvious, both contain Star  in their titles and both revolve around space (and at this point, you maybe yelling at me by saying "No duh"). I promise, this post WILL get better! Ok., aside from the blatantly obvious, both franchises could not be more different. It would be like comparing apples to watermelons. But, I'm not here to discuss the differences, neither am I here to sway you from one or the other. Mainly I'm here to ask you guys, which one and mainly WHY  do you prefer one better than the other? Personally for me, I have so much love for both.  Both were significant and integral parts of my childhood and continue to be. As a child one of my fondest memories is watching reruns of Star ...
